WHO IS RYAN MOODY?

Ryan Moody started his fishing career on the reef boats before catching bucket list marlin for the likes of champion heavy tackle angler Johnno Johnson, INXS and the King of Sweden. Branching out in the late 80’s to guided barramundi fishing, Ryan has made a name for himself as a Big Barramundi specialist and to date has put clients onto over 2000 metre plus barra.

On his way home from charter, he would often stop to grab a quick Fingermark for dinner. After 30 years on the water he has found them in locations that most people don’t even think to look.

With attitudes changing from ‘keep all you can’ towards catch and release, Ryan has decided to share his extensive knowledge and hopefully inspire people of all ages to get out from behind the computer screen/TV and into the fishing outdoors lifestyle he has spent his life perfecting.

As a very happy Sounder Skills 2 student, I thought I would give Finding Fingermark a try to see if it would help me catch our redfish (Snapper, Santer, Soldier, Slinger) here in South Africa. I can’t believe I learned so much! The proof is in the photo! When my mates ask me how I catch so many fish, I tell them to buy Ryan’s courses.

I can catch fish any stage of the tide now. I was good at catching Fingermark before, but now after completing the Finding Fingermark course I would consider a weapon at catching these fish. Cheers Ryan!

– Ian Walters

The course certainly didn’t let me down with so much information contained within it. Anyone that likes to catch these fish would benefit greatly from Finding Fingermark. The info within it is exceptional and really makes things click into place as to why I could catch them some days and others not turn a scale. I love getting into the big girls in shallow water, under 10m, thanks to Finding Fingermark. Totally different beast when they hit over that 75cm mark!
